All This Panic offers an unvarnished look at the lives of young American women whose less compelling moments are more than balanced out by documentarian Jenny Gage’s empathetic approach
All This Panic is like a coming-of-age movie, but without the cheesy dialogue and predictable plot twists. Instead, it’s a beautifully shot documentary that captures the essence of what it’s like to be a teenage girl in New York City. The film follows a group of young women as they navigate the ups and downs of adolescence, from first loves to family drama. It’s honest, relatable, and at times, downright hilarious. If you’re looking for a documentary that will make you laugh, cry, and feel all the feels, All This Panic is definitely worth a watch.

On top of being entertaining, illuminating, and affecting, the film is beautifully shot — with gorgeous, hazy light and painterly framing — it looks like a narrative feature.

There is honesty in All This Panic that is both relatable and somewhat shocking, and for female viewers in their 20s and 30s especially, these girls are recognizable and sympathetic.

TOP CRITIC
[Filmmakers Jenny Gage and Tom Betterton] got close to them as Brooklyn neighbors and spent three years following them as they matured and began to separate from parents and forge their own identities.

TOP CRITIC
Adopting a meandering, free-flowing structure and woozily intimate photography, the director, Jenny Gage, and her husband, the cinematographer Tom Betterton, follow close and listen well.

TOP CRITIC
The nostalgia for youth is a powerful lure, but All This Panic’s greatest appeal is in the entertaining, empathetic and warm way these personal sagas are told.
